Queens Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks’ recent trips to Ukraine are an about-face for the former Russia-loving pol who once referred to Vladimir Putin’s government as “an important allied relationship” and “strategic partner” for the US
Meeks, chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee, founded the House’s Russia Caucus, along with disgraced former Staten Island pol Michael Grimm, once lobbied hard to remove impediments to trade with the country.
And Meeks’ sister, Janella Meeks, works for Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment, a company once tied to Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, a Putin confidant who used to own the New Jersey Nets. Janella Meeks is deputy director of government and public affairs for the company, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Unlike dozens of other Russian billionaires close to Putin, Prokhorov has not been sanctioned by the US or Europe. He sold the team and Barclay’s arena, pocketing more than a $2 billion in the deals, in 2019. The sale of the NBA franchise was allegedly at the behest of Putin, The Post recently revealed.
But Meeks has recently embraced Ukraine’s fight against Putin, accompanying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on an official Congressional delegation visit to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month.
“We assured him of the United States and Congress’ unwavering and bipartisan support for Ukraine’s defense,” said Meeks in a statement earlier this month.

So Gregory, are you in or out? Putin or Zelensky?
And why's Crowley in your photo?
How many indictments is Meeks running from lately? Arguably one of the dirtiest politicians in Queens, and that's really saying something.
Consider this, he's also the King/Queenmaker in the Democrat party in Queens.
It's not my photo, it's the post's.
I think they chose that one because it's so incriminating looking.
"Arguably one of the dirtiest politicians in Queens"
I love America and am so grateful for being born here. That being said, it is my duty to the American people and the rest of the World (as it is all of our duty) to stop voting in these warmongering lifetime politicians like the Clintons, Bushes, Obamas, Bidens, Grahams, Pelosis, Schumers, and McConnells. Prove Me Wrong...
I’m surprised that Putin News has an issue with this. Being on Purim’s payroll is usually a badge of honor for the Murdoch empire.

The solution to this is simple. Voter every NY Democrat out of office and keep them out for the next 5 decades.
You can't fix stupid said...
I Can't be for a party that believes men can have babies.
And yeah none of them know what a woman is either...
Democrats way. Believe what we tell you. Not what you see.
The Bible says “what’s done in the dark comes out in the light”. Luke:12:2-3.
Should we Impeach this crime boss ?
JQ. I knew it's not your photo. Just curious why Crowley is back "on stage"?

Viral Video Exposes Hillary Clinton Spreading Disinformation About Russia
If spreading misinformation is what gets a person banned from social media, Hillary Clinton may need to be concerned, now that details have emerged pointing the finger of blame at the former Democratic Presidential nominee for fabricating the widely-disseminated story about an alleged connection between the Trump campaign and a Russian-affiliated bank. Videographer nonpareil Matt Orfalea put together another impressive video compilation of media figures repeating the Clinton campaign’s fabrications.
Watch it on the Jimmy Dore Channel

Elections have consequences. MEGA MAGA Republicans will take back the house and senate this November, January 2023 they will be making lists of things that need investigation. Guess they need to add Meeks to the list.
He believes in only one thing- his own enrichment.
Never lose faith in Democrats ability to project their sins onto others.
Russia, Russia Russia....
The Dems spent the past 6 years screaming about Russia and accusing everybody that disagrees with them of being a Russian agent. But they’re okay with Meeks, his pro-Russia caucus and his close ties to Russian oligarchs. It really speaks volumes.
Russia, Russia, Russia, but it was the Dems, not Trump!
C'mon Man You Know The Thing said...
Meeks who probably could not find Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, or Crimea on a map gets to be chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee ?
So this Meeks character has something in common with TrumpTurd. I wonder if those super clever stooges at the Post are clever enough to join the dots?
Are you surprised ?
How come they (Mainstream Media) can lie to us and make it go away?
One day I think it will be an embarrassment for a Hiden to show his face.
Bunter Hiden bought, used burner phone apps.
As Edward Snowden said, everything is stored. There's no loopholes to delete any files if it's digital. There's no such thing as " deleted"

Where is the Truth, Verity, Accuracy, and Authenticity ?
Time to kick the Lolberts out !
@“ The Dems spent the past 6 years screaming about Russia and accusing everybody that disagrees with them of being a Russian ”
Take a hike Boris. You gotta come up with something better than that, or your boss will send you off to the Siberian salt mines.
Nothing will happen to Mr Meeeeeks Because NYC/NYS is a cesspool of DemOrAt corruption !
Do DemOrats get free passes for their crimes ?
Asking for a friend...
CRIME PAYS & NYC IS RUN BY A FASHION DUMMY !
@“ Do DemOrats get free passes for their crime”
Yes they do, just like the Putinists, the Dems are crooked too. They’re just not as good at weaseling their way out of it.
Mean while cross town at the Michael Sussman trial......crickets
The Flushing Greek Church is a Putin Puppet, too. The Putin Efreim Monasteries started in the Flushing Church and are located wherever Trump won surprize victories, funded by Krokodil heroin made from petrolium and by Goose Prengiss elder card fraud. Greece and China Signed 16 Deals on November 11, 2019. On Jun 14, 2021 Greece said they have no plans to end economic ties with China. Paese Eznepede told the Greeks the Russians and Chinese will save them (Suroti 1999) so they made him a saint on January 13, 2015. May 27, 2008, Greek chief priests of Manhattan, Boston and Atlanta report to Moscow. Marchesini was going to expel the US Fleet and Macarius give Breznev bases.

I think that President Trump did us a great service by exposing the pervasive corruption in both the Democratic and Republican parties.
More Demorat wrongdoing are you surprised ?
The lame stream media has been eager to ignore the The Russia Hoax "dossier" !
Just saying said... and said again...
President Trump brought Energy Independence, a Great Economy, Secure Borders and No New Wars.
@“ I think that President Trump did us a great service by exposing the pervasive corruption in both the Democratic and Republican parties.”
He did? I guess I missed that one. And you didn’t know this until TrumpTurd told you?
I guess he forgot to tell you about his own corruption?
Sad…
To last comment: You loyal Queens peons keep protecting (and voting for) the same subhuman political scourges, all of whom are paid by their neo-fascist, special interest corporations to eliminate your numbers——EN MASS!——and yet you keep expecting a different result while obsessively, relentlessly investing your blind faith in the corrupt, empowered idiots who were hired to hasten your demise: the total definition of insanity.
❝Voting gives consent to profound, political criminals to continue to fleece all of you politically indoctrinated 'SHEEPLE' like human cattle——ALL the way to the bloody red gates of the abattoir. You DO NOT have to be livestock for criminals and archaic, party-machine-failed duopoly cults AND government-entrenched Mafia crime family rings. Nobody ever CHANGED the MAFIA——by JOINING IT!❞ ——Anonymous
❝Voting has become a farce, if indeed it was ever anything else. By voting, the people decide only which of the oligarchs pre-selected for them as viable candidates will wield the whip used to flog them and will command the legion of willing accomplices who perpetrate the countless violations of the people's natural rights.❞ —―Robert Higgs
❝Voting is not an act of political freedom. It is an act of political conformity. Those who refuse to vote are not expressing silence. They are screaming in the politician's ear: 'You do not represent me. This is not a process in which my voice matters. I do not believe you.'❞ ——Wendy McElroy
❝The political system, as many Bernie Sanders supporters are about to discover, is immune to reform. The only effective resistance will be achieved through acts of sustained, mass civil disobedience. the Democrats, like the Republicans, have no intention of halting the assault on our civil liberties, the expansion of imperial wars, the coddling of Wall Street, the destruction of the ecosystem by the fossil fuel industry and the impoverishment of workers. As long as the Democrats and the Republicans remain in power——we are doomed.❞ ——Chris Hedges
❝It doesn't actually make any difference whether the President is Republican or Democrat. The genius of the American ruling class is that it has been able to make the people think that they have had something to do with the electing of presidents for 200 years when they've had absolutely nothing to say about the candidates or the policies or the way the country is run.❞ ——Gore Vidal
❝Sooner or later the people in this country are going to realize: The government does not give a f*ck about them. The government doesn’t care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare, or your safety. It simply doesn’t give a f*ck about you. It’s interested in its own power. That’s the only thing keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.❞ ——George Carlin
❝The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth, or to evade truth——not to reveal it.❞ ——John Kenneth Galbraith
❝If you think that strong men are dangerous, wait until you get a load of weak men.❞ ——Jordan B. Peterson
❝The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.❞ ——H. L. Mencken
